I am so sorry for all of your loss. Randy and I worked together at the Dillons at Central and Oliver and we both helped open the Dillons at 21st and Rock rd as we worked the night stock crew together. Those were some fun nights and early mornings. Randy was always ready for an adventure. One of the smartest and brightest people I have ever known. My prayers for you all.
Very sorry to hear about Randy passing. I have many memories but the one that comes to mind most is how much he was proud of his family and family name. May he rest in peace in God’s favor. Our deepest condolences to the entire family.
So sorry to hear about Randy passing.He was such a fun child growing up. We have fond memories of him in grade school.With our deepest sympathy to his family. The Clark Stevens family
So very sorry for the loss of Randy. He brought “sunshine” to every place he was. Thinking of you. 🙏
Deepest sympathies. Was grateful to have gotten to know him. Will miss him.
I, and many other high school friends have crazy fond memories of Randy. I lost touch 5 years or so after we graduated. But in that time I saw in him some tenderness not everyone possesses. Randy truly had a heart of gold.
Our prayers and condolences go out to Randy’s family and friends. He was so much fun to be around. Always leaving a smile on your face. I knew Randy since kindergarten at STA. We had some great times together and he will truly be missed.
As a cousin, Randy was always one of the crazy ones! We in Colorado didn’t get to see him much, but it was always fun and lots of laughs when we did. We are all so saddened by his untimely passing, and our hearts go out to the entire family. May you all be comforted in knowing he is now in God’s loving hands.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
